Opening an orphanage in another world

_________________________________________________

[At the headquarters of the church]

[Saintess Rumia point of view]

"So that happen. Just why did mother have to resort doing such a thing" [Ceanu Reaves]

"I thought you had your own intelligence info, guess they don't get you covered on that one" [Saintess Rumia]

"Still, this person, The Behemoth Slayer, I feel bad for him, what should I do?" [Ceanu Reaves]

"Knowing your princess, she must have forced a job or something into him, but..." [Saintess Rumia]

"I know. Based on his strength, shall he decided to go on a rampage, Estel will be severely damage. Princess Diana must have use the orphanage as a mean to keep him in check while providing support to him. I don't know whether The Behemoth Slayer realize it or not but it just doesn't stand right with me, and must be more so for her" [Ceanu Reaves]

"Agree. She out of all people will understand that" [Saintess Rumia]

King Estel and Princess Diana, both of them are trying to drive out the old follower influence from their administration by churning them out, and replace them with reliable people from all over Achalasia.

"Now then, regarding our request" [Ceanu Reaves]

"To send someone from our side to Estel, is that correct?" [Saintess Rumia]

"It is, so is there anyone that comes to your mind?" [Ceanu Reaves]

"There are few sure, but..." [Saintess Rumia]

With the recent even happening around Estel, Malsia and Kiserre, I should send someone reliable. That way, they can provide support for Diana, spread the correct teaching as well as investigating the Achalasia Externa group. Now then, who among them should I send...

(Or...) [Saintess Rumia]

"Saintess?" [Ceanu Reaves]

"Oh, it's nothing. It just that, why I don't come there instead?" [Saintess Rumia]

"I feel like I had been used by you all this while" [Ash]

"True" [Diana]

"Sigh... at least you're honest about it. And before moving on to the meeting, just one last question" [Ash]

"And that is?" [Diana]

"You aren't planning to use those kids for your own benefit aren't you?" [Ash]

I'm sure it's a no, but just to be on a safer side. It comes to no surprise that Qis are about to explode in anger but not that I care

"For now, I won't. Just like you, I wanted the children here in Estel to be nurture and reach their full potential. That's the most important part in "planting a tree" after all" [Diana]

"Good. At least you aren't wearing any mask when saying that" [Ash]

"Ash! You really have crossed the line now!" [Qis]

"Relax, your princess here doesn't even care about it, but you're right, saying that in front of her own father is a bit rude, so I'm sorry your highness" [Ash]

"Hey! Shouldn't you say sorry to me as well" [Diana]

"Let just move on to the meeting shall we" [Ash]

"True" [King Estel]

"Father! Don't join him!" [Diana]

~Chuckle~

(No wonder the punishment given is not so severe, he is friendly with the princess after all) [Khamishah]

I'm glad that the word nurture really is sincere, coming from the bottom of her heart. Well, she did support us and the orphanage from behind the scene, as well as helping them when I am not here, so I can take her words for that

"Right, I guess we should just tell you about what's happening there first before telling you guys about our finding. I could start with Agnes from Malsia, but at this point you guys already familiar with the story, so it's best I start with the mysterious guy falling from the sky" [Ash]

"During the goblin request?" [Ram]

"Yup" [Ash]

"And why is that?" [Gizzere]

"I'll tell the significance of it later on" [Ash]

And I tell them from the beginning itself. The mysterious falling guy during the goblin subjugation request, how Kronbir say he heard the word angelic transformation, about the Kiserre's guild master illness (which was explained by Khamishah herself), about the curse being put into Queen Rinz, and about the attack on Kiserre's castle and the subsequent follow up

"Huh... so you want to say that from wherever that mysterious guy falls from, that place is a source of the mysterious energy that affect the country knight and noble?" [Diana]

"I do, and knowing that Agnes is involved, I can say for sure that, the mysterious guy and the mysterious energy came from one common source, the fallen god itself" [Ash]

"!" [Other]

"Yup, and..." [Ash]

It's a good thing that The First Prince, Fawan literally spit out everything that he knows about. He couldn't care less about what's going to happen to Agnes and those conspiring with him, so we get some good information from him

1. While the old follower were promised angelic transformation upon the succession of the experimentation, Fawan was promised an army

2. They employ the dark guild to do all their dirty work as well, from kidnapping to taking slaves inside the country. The two traitors of the Demon kingdom are also involved but their current whereabouts are unknown, presumably escape with the member of the dark guild

3. The R&D of the old follower and the group Achalasia Externa really are connected after all. They use the results of the experimentation to built a powerful staff, made out of the magic core of human and non human. The portal stone was also the same albeit we are left in dark regarding the method

"Wait? Magic core of what?" [Erinmorlin]

"I'm sorry, but could we hear it wrong?" [Flinar]

"Unfortunately, you heard it correctly. It strange as only monster has one" [Khamishah]

"And Fawan there didn't know anything about it?" [King Estel]

"No, or he could be hiding it, but I doubt that" [Ash]

"That's truly strange, plus, for a Drakon to emerge there and a Drakaini here, could it be a coincidence?" [Qis]

"That, I'm not sure" [Ash]

"And that mysterious energy, it will cause the human affected to become strong albeit with the drawback of their sanity. What happens to them three days later after the incidence?" [Diana]

"Slowly recovering" [Khamishah]

"And as for those getting experiment on?" [Ram]

"Depend. Some being feed to strengthen the monster, obviously will die. Other who are fused with monster or turn into one meet the same demise. Rest is left with permanent scar and disability, but Queen Rinz promise to help them" [Ash]

"Wait, fuse with monsters?" [Gizzere]

"The strange behemoth that I fought, I can sense the same mysterious energy as well as human soul inside of them, which let me to that conclusion" [Ash]

"How did you know about the human soul part?" [Flinar]

"I never tell you this, well except for Diana and Qis here, but I am also blessed with God of Death blessing, so I can sort of feel it" [Ash]

"!" [Other]

Well, it shouldn't surprise me anymore that they are surprise hearing about my blessing

"And the mysterious energy, we decided to call it artificial blessings from now on, as it isn't a blessing from the god or the holy beast" [Khamishah]

"Yup, almost forgot about that one" [Ash]

Is there anything else that I missed?

(Alaric? Is there anything else that I should talk?) [Ash]

(Since when did you learn to initiate the telepathy...) [Alaric]

(Just now) [Ash]

(Sigh... How about what Saint Louis and Mrs Aries is planning) [Alaric]

(Is that confirm? Well, wouldn't hurt to talk about it) [Ash]

"Saint Louis will be going back to the headquarters and he plans on cracking down the Achalasia Externa group from the R&D, hoping to get a lead to Agnes as well. Paladin Aries will depart to the demon kingdom and will discuss with the demon king Druser about the traitors, as for me, I will help Queen Rinz moving forward" [Khamishah]

"I see" [Diana]

Well, she beat me to it

"For now, we should discuss about what we should do moving forward" [King Estel]

"I wouldn't mind helping here as well" [Khamishah]

"Thank you Mrs Saga for your corporation. How about you Behemoth Slayer?" [Diana]

"Just say the usual, "you better not skip" directly instead of that glare and smile" [Ash]

"Still, did Sir Ceanu Reaves manage to get someone from the headquarters?" [Erinmorlin]

"We still did not receive any news about it" [Qis]

"Well, that, as well as..." [King Estel]

We continue the meeting
